Chapter 22: The Way of the Supreme Swordsman

Ximen Street, City God Temple.

The oil-paper umbrella was thrown on the side of the temple gate, and inside the temple, there was a bonfire, on which was a roasted roast chicken with a fragrant aroma.

The roast chicken was already cooked, but no one was turning it.

Because the person who bakes the roast chicken is now dying!

Zhou Feng was originally roasting roast chicken, waiting for his cousin to get Ye Chong's sharp weapon, and then come to meet him, he also prepared a pot of soju, and prepared that the two of them would quickly leave Chaoge City after eating the roast chicken and drinking the wine.

Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was a sword that Ye rushed into the door and quickly stabbed him.

He saw what he thought was the weapon of the First Assassin, but paid the price in blood.

"Zhou Meng is dead. Ye Chong held the Yuexuan Sword in his hand and reached the neck of Zhou Feng, who had already been hit by a sword and was bleeding non-stop, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Shakespeare said that flies that eat honey will drown in honey, and please tell your cousin this sentence later." ”

Then in Zhou Feng's frightened gaze, mixed with the confusion of who Shakespeare was, the Yuexuan Sword in Ye Chong's hand slammed forward and penetrated his throat.

Ye Chong withdrew the Yuexuan Sword, turned around and picked up a burning fire stick from the campfire, and threw it on the straw cover under Zhou Feng's corpse.

Flames are rising!

Ye Chong walked to the gate of the temple, re-held the umbrella, and walked into the rain.

Behind it, the firelight in the City God Temple and the rain line that spread all over the sky formed a strange picture.

......

The torrential rain fell for two days in a row, and Ye Chong has been closed since he returned to the Divine General Courtyard, and he has finished the book that in addition to his father Ye Chonglou, there are also many anonymous people in Chaoge City in recent decades.

The fire in the City God Temple must have been extinguished by the torrential rain in the end, but when the fire was extinguished, Zhou Feng's body must have already turned into ashes.

So Ye Chong didn't worry too much, not to mention that this was a troubled world where his life was like a dog.

Two days later, the sky began to clear and the sun was shining again. The water on the ground is gone, only the soil under the small flower beds in the courtyard is still slightly muddy.

There was a moist smell in the air, Ye Chong was about to go to the library to return the books, and as soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, he saw Beitang Mo walking towards him.

"You've come just in time, I've got something for you. Ye Chong said as he bought the bag and handed one to Beitangmo.

"Huh? is this...... Give me the bag of the middle grade of the Yellow Order? No, you ...... How can you afford it?" Beitang Mo held the bag with a surprised expression.

This thing is available to many disciples in the inner courtyard, and it can be loaded with beast pills, spiritual treasures, and many things, and he has always wanted one, but he has no money to buy it.

"When my father came to Chaoge City a few days ago, he gave me some savings, and I bought two of them, and you can use them. Ye Chong had already thought of his words.

Beitang Mo thought of what he had heard about Ye Chonglou today, and nodded silently, "Thank you." ”

He didn't know that Ye Chonglou had enough money to buy wine on weekdays, where would he give Ye Chong a few hundred taels of silver at once.

"By the way, Ye Chong, I came to you to tell you, wait and go to the martial arts field with me. Beitang Mo suddenly said: "We have been disciples of the inner court for several days, you have not been to the martial arts dojo once, today I heard that there is a tutor who specializes in kendo to give a lecture, so I think, you should go for a trip, otherwise it would be a pity." ”

"A tutor specializing in kendo?" Ye Chong was a little curious after hearing this, and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”

It is said that the blade cultivated by Beitang Mo is a spear rather than a sword, and the reason why he pays attention to this matter must be because he Ye Chong is practicing swordsmanship.

Martial Arts Dojo.

Ye Chong was here for the first time, because he had too many things to learn about and to find answers to in the library pavilion, so he didn't patronize it all the time.

This is a place where the disciples of the inner courtyard of the Divine General Academy practice and learn on weekdays, of course, they can also choose to cultivate in their own small courtyard, such as Hou Yinglong, the new No. 1 guy has also never appeared in the martial arts field.

In the martial arts field, there will be several mentors from the Divine General Academy here, and the disciples who come to cultivate can ask them for answers and guidance if they encounter any bottlenecks or problems.

Therefore, except for those previous disciples who are older, have higher cultivation levels, have already worshiped under the names of certain mentors, or go out to do tasks, most of the people who are not strong enough, as well as the new Inner Court disciples, will choose to come here to cultivate.

"Do you know that someone found a corpse in the back mountain, which had been gnawed by a fierce beast, and it was said that the person was Zhou Meng. ”

"I also heard that it is indeed Zhou Meng, that guy is really, he has been in the inner courtyard for a year, and his strength has been cultivated as if he has entered the realm, and he actually dares to brave the heavy rain to go up the back mountain to hunt fierce beasts, he really deserves it. ”

"Alas, I guess that guy is in a hurry, last time he told me that there were still a few beast pills left to exchange for the scroll of Moro Sword Technique, but I didn't expect to lose his life for a few beast pills. ”

“......”

When Ye Chong and Beitangmo passed by some people, they heard some discussions like this.

The development of things was the same as Ye Chong expected, no one would have thought that Zhou Meng was not killed by the fierce beast, but by himself.

"Ye Chong, haha, I haven't seen you all the time, and I thought that you, like Hou Yinglong, were enlightening alone in your own courtyard and didn't come to the martial arts arena. ”

Wei Yang, who was talking and laughing with a group of gentlemen and previous inner court disciples, showed a bright smile when he saw Ye Chong, and greeted him like a friend.

"This guy has been wooing the disciples of the Inner Court of this and previous years recently, and he is gaining momentum in the Inner Court. Beitangmo whispered beside Ye Chong.

Ye Chong had also heard Zhou Meng mention this, but naturally he didn't have much to do with him, but he didn't expect this Wei Yang to take the initiative to greet him.

He doesn't think that the other party will try to woo him the same way he tries to win over others.

As a prince, Wei Yang must know more about Ye Chonglou than many people, so as the son of King Wei and Wang Donglin's apprentice, he is destined to be not a person with him.

In particular, with Ye Chong's experience and vision in his previous life, it can be seen that this guy Weiyang is just a guy who grew up in all kinds of deceitful forces in the palace, is a little precocious, and is good at using hypocritical masks to cover up his guys.

Ye Chong nodded at him, signaled, and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, this kid is too arrogant, our prince Yang ignored him so much!" Cheng Shiyang looked angry.

Several previous disciples also shook their heads, "This person is the son of Ye Chonglou, Ye Chong? ”

Wei Yang smiled indifferently, "We are also disciples of the Inner Court, don't talk about others like this, let's go, let's go listen to Master Qin's kendo lecture." ”

Cheng Shiyang snorted, and then said: "Prince Yang, your master Wang Donglin is our first swordsman to defend the country, this Qin Er has always been your master's defeated general, in fact, there is no need to listen to him talk about swordsmanship, right?"

Some of the previous disciples who didn't know that Wei Yang's swordsmanship had learned from Wang Donglin suddenly showed admiration one by one.

Wei Yang shook his head slightly, "My master also said that the reason why Teacher Qin is slightly inferior to him in kendo is because Mr. Qin only studies kendo all year round, but rarely experiences bloody training, but his insights on kendo still have a certain reference value, and he also gave me the opportunity to listen to Mr. Qin's class." ”

"As the first swordsman, but with such a generous mind, Ling Shi's style and bones really make people feel like they are looking up to the mountains. A former disciple immediately patted his ass.

Wei Yang smiled silently, looked at Ye Chong and the others who were walking in front of them, and followed steadily.

......

Qin Bai, a guest tutor of the Divine General Academy, has been specializing in kendo for many years, and is a highly famous martial artist in the Song City.

It is rumored that Qin Bai had a battle with the first swordsman Wang Donglin many years ago, and finally lost, and afterwards Wang Donglin mentioned this matter and said, "If there is no me, the position of the first swordsman must be Qin Bai's." ”

The implication is that Qin Bai's kendo cultivation is second only to him, and afterwards, there are many good deeds who give Qin Bai the name of "Qin Er".

When Ye Chong and Wei Yang and the others arrived one after another, Qin Bai had already begun to preach, and there were already many disciples who practiced kendo around him, all of whom were sitting on the ground.

Ye Chong, and later Wei Yang, also learned the rules and sat down behind those disciples who arrived first.

I saw that Qin Bai was forty years old, his face was slightly pale, his figure was thin, his white robe was slightly old, and he was wearing a green wood crown.

It's not like a kendo master, but like a middle-aged scholar who doesn't lose his dignity.

In the nearest position next to Qin Bai, there was a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long hair like a waterfall, a beautiful face, and all the disciples, all dressed in the green shirts of the disciples of the inner courtyard, holding a long sword on her knees, holding her snow cheeks in both hands, and her eyes were very smart, looking quite aura.

Ye Chong noticed an interesting phenomenon, that is, when many people listened to Qin Bai's gushing lectures, their eyes would fall on the beautiful and agile girl from time to time.

"This is Qin Er's daughter, Qin Wuyue, she is really beautiful, no wonder she has been listening to the senior brothers in the inner courtyard mention it. ”

Sitting not far from Ye Chong's side, Cheng Shiyang, who was behind Wei Yang, whispered.

I saw Wei Yang stretch out his head and look at Qin Wuyue's body, and then nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, I suddenly heard Qin Bai say in a loud voice: "In short, the most important thing in practicing kendo is the heart, and you must have the character of tens of millions of people in order to practice supreme swordsmanship." And I privately think that the extent to which a person's kendo cultivation can go depends on what the highest kendo is in the person's heart. ”

"Then what is the highest sword path in Teacher Qin's heart?" someone asked.

Qin Bai smiled and said, "Although I have been studying kendo for many years, I have been a little confused recently, either because of the ease of life, or because the kendo I have been pursuing is not the real supreme way, so today, I want to hear your views on kendo." ”

Saying that, his voice paused, "Is there anyone willing to say, what is the supreme sword path in his mind?"

"The disciple is not talented, and he is willing to say the supreme sword path in his heart and throw bricks and lead the jade. Wei Yang got up suddenly, as a disciple of Wang Donglin, he was probably premeditated and prepared to make a splash in today's kendo class.

Ye Chong noticed that when Weiyang got up, he also glanced at Qin Wuyue in the front row faintly.

"Wei Yang believes that the so-called supreme sword should be an incomparable sword, the sword can shock the world, can cover the light of the sun, moon and stars, invincible, rampant, invincible sword in the world, it is the supreme sword!" Wei Yang said in an impassioned voice.

Qin Bai bowed slightly, "It turned out to be Prince Weiyang, it's really wonderful, okay, do others have different opinions?"

The disciples were silent for a while.

Not to mention that as soon as Wei Yang spoke up, he said the amazing and incomparable swordsmanship, which made it difficult for others to have more brilliant ideas for a while. And the person who originally intended to express his thoughts, because of the identity of Weiyang, the youngest son of King Wei and the apprentice of the first swordsman Wang Donglin, just these two things, no one really dared to take what he just said as a brick throw.

This is clearly the appearance of the gold inlaid jade, which makes people unable to pick it up!

Seeing that no one made a sound, Qin Bai frowned slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he spoke: "I heard that a few days ago, when the disciples of the inner courtyard were assessed, a disciple named Ye Chong led out the signs of sword intent in the ring, at a young age, his talent is amazing, I don't know if Ye Chong is not present at this time, would you like to talk about the supreme sword dao in his heart?"

As soon as Qin Bai's words fell, Ye Chong scolded his mother in his heart, Lao Tzu hated the teacher who liked to call the names of students to answer questions in class.

It's just that with the eyes of many disciples who knew Ye Chong, he quickly stood out from the crowd.
